Hopefully Therrien sees he needs to play Malkin with Sid. They scored at will there and had a great chnace the shift before the goal. And Staal is a center who needs to play with slower skaters. All I know is Malkin better be playing with Sid next game and Staal better be centering two of Oulet, Leclair, Rex or Ekman.

Good job by the Pens to gut out an uneven game in which they got schooled on faceoffs, winning 27 and losing 40. They did a better job of staying out of the box, but a lot of that might be due to them playing a much less aggressive opponent.

Thanks. It felt good to get out on the mound. It feels out there. I mean, it's a major rush. I mean, it feels radical in kind of a tubular sort of way, but most of all, it feels out there.

I guess it's a perk of being the thread manager to get to pick your spots against a lousy Philly team.

It's good to be the boss. Hey, they lost 5 in a row, someone had to step up and take care of things. A good friend once told me sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes you get rained out. Think about that for a while.

quick ? to you all... after the army hit... agreed that army lost his balance... but the guy hits him from behind... with the puck still 10 ft away on the boards...

first off there is less then 45 seconds left... your on a pp... why do you send out malkin, crosby, and was it army... especially against the flyers... why not trought out... ruutu (sp), thorborn, and somebody else...

my philosophy is... you dont need the goal... yes its good for the percent... but you dont need it... and secondly its somebody else taking that puck to the upper body... not your franchise player...

i dotn know maybe i am wrong... would have handled it differently though!
